They were literally “scalped”, except there’s no scalp, skin or blood - just hair.
It probably would have hurt a lot, but doesn’t look anywhere near the fatal accident implied by the term “scalped”.

Since when does the Army allow mechanics (or anyone else for that matter) to have long hair?

Males arent allowed to have long hair–hence this story is innacurate.

Yep no long hair allowed in the ARMY. That’s armpit hair from a very hairy male caucasian.

Says he was Army Civil Service. Does that make a difference in hair length?
I didn’t believe it because I don’t see blood all over. “Scalping” sounds like an exaggeration.

I’ve heard tales of guys in the printing industry getting “scalped” by presses, and other machinery. But thank god, never seen it. Hair + fast moving gears = bad freakin’ idea.

It was obviously a civilian technician. I once knew a guy who got is hair caught in a drill press and never grew it long again afterwards.
OTOH, they don’t say the guy should have had short hair. Instead they talk about “hair control requirements”. As a long haired guy myself I take restraining my hair around moving machinery very seriously. Better to tie hair back, braid it, or even wear a bun than to get it caught in rotating machinery. Better to look girly than get scalped!
